THIS WEEK’S COMMENT
Throughout Scripture, the person who truly trusts in
God is compared to an eagle. The eagle has some
pests, one of which is a crow. He’s always
squawking, always causing the eagle trouble. The
truth is we all have a few crows in our life. You
may have an entire flock of them, along with a few
chickens and turkeys, as well!
Certain people can rub us the wrong way; they can
irritate us if we allow them. We need to take a
lesson from the eagle instead. When the eagle is out
flying, often a crow will come up right behind him
and start to pester him, aggravating and annoying
him. Although the eagle is much larger, it cannot
maneuver quickly. To get rid of his pest, the eagle
simply stretches out his eight-foot wingspan and
catches some of the thermal currents, and he rises
up higher and higher. Eventually, he gets to an
altitude where no other bird can live. The crow
can’t even breathe up there. On rare occasions,
eagles have been spotted at altitudes as high as
20,000 feet, nearly as high as a jet flies.
In the same manner, if you want to get rid of your
pest, you need to rise higher. Don’t ever sink down
to the opposition’s level. Don’t argue; don’t try to
pay somebody back; don’t give them the cold
shoulder. Be the bigger person. Overlook their
faults. Walk in love and dare to bless even your
enemies. In the long run, crows can’t compete with
eagles.
You are an eagle. You’ve been made in the image
of Almighty God. Learn to live above your
circumstances. Don’t let people pull you into strife
and division and get you all upset or gossiping.
God is in complete control of your life. You don’t
have to worry, nor must you be controlled by your
circumstances. You can do as the eagle and rise
above. An eagle lives in the high
places, where he’s close to God.
Blessings, Jenny Klein
